FENDASKIN – Sustainable Bioprene Fender Covers
from €97.02
To complement our fenders, we have developed the next generation FENDASKIN, now using Bioprene* to deliver a truly sustainable product. FENDASKIN covers are tight fitting, with a smooth surface, so they won’t trap grit or salt crystals against the hull. Additionally, they don’t soak up water or stretch, like a traditional knitted cover, and take up much less volume when stowed. Currently only available in Black, FENDASKIN offer outstanding performance and a sleek, contemporary appearance. They are reversible and guaranteed not to fade for two years.
Typically, end-of-life Neoprene covers are destined for landfill, so we have partnered with Circular Flow, a ground breaking organisation, that has opened Europe’s first Neoprene recycling facility. As a result, we can now offer customers the opportunity to dispose of their old Neoprene covers or wetsuits responsibly, creating a fully sustainable solution for the manufacture and disposal of fender covers.
*More than two years in development and testing, our all new FENDASKIN is made from Bioprene, a sustainable Neoprene alternative, that doesn’t use petro-chemicals or mined minerals in the production process. USDA Certified, our Bioprene is made using renewable rubber, sugar cane, plant oils and recycled oyster shells. From raw material preparation, manufacturing, to final delivery, the carbon footprint is reduced by 52% and 79% 0f the carbon is from renewable sources, in accordance with ASTM-D6866.

What are Bioprene fender covers?
Bioprene fender covers are protective covers made from an eco-friendly material called Bioprene. They are designed to protect boat yacht hulls from wear and tear. Bioprene is a sustainable Neoprene alternative, that doesn’t use petrochemicals or mined minerals in the production process. USDA Certified, our Bioprene is made using renewable rubber, sugar cane, plant oils and recycled oyster shells.
How are Bioprene fender covers different from traditional fender covers?
Bioprene fender covers are made from a sustainable material, whereas traditional fender covers are typically made from synthetic materials such as Acrylic or Neoprene. The Bioprene used in every FENDASKIN is completely Neoprene-free and PAHs (Class II), REACH/SVHC and RoHS compliant.
What are the benefits of using Bioprene fender covers?
Using Bioprene fender covers helps reduce the use of petrochemicals and mined materials, which helps protect the environment. They also provide better protection for yachts than traditional covers but with the added benefit of being eco-friendly. From raw material preparation, and manufacturing, to final delivery, the carbon footprint is reduced by 52% and 79% of the carbon is from renewable sources, in accordance with ASTM-D6866.
Are Bioprene fender covers as durable as traditional covers?
Yes, Bioprene fender covers are made to be more durable than traditional covers. They have improved UV resistance and are guaranteed not to fade for two years, twice as long as most alternatives. In addition, their lifespan is doubled because every FENDASKIN is reversible.
Can Bioprene fender covers be recycled?
Yes, DEFENDA has partnered with Circular Flow who have developed a system for recycling waste Bioprene and Neoprene.
Are Bioprene fender covers available in different sizes?
Yes, Bioprene fender covers come in various sizes to fit different types and sizes of boat fenders.
How do you clean Bioprene fender covers?
Bioprene fender covers can be easily cleaned with warm water and mild soap. They should not be cleaned with harsh chemicals or bleach, as this can damage the material.
What is the best way to recycle old Neoprene fender covers?
Typically, end-of-life Neoprene covers are destined for landfill, so we have partnered with Circular Flow, a groundbreaking organisation, that has opened Europe’s first Neoprene recycling facility. As a result, we can now offer customers the opportunity to dispose of their old Neoprene covers or wetsuits responsibly, creating a fully sustainable solution for the manufacture and disposal of fender covers.
